As the sword and spear clashed, a powerful recoil suddenly struck. Qi Yunxiao's expression changed slightly, and his arm went numb. He retreated rapidly, his gaze fixed on Gu Yifeng, his eyes filled with apprehension.
"You are very strong, as expected of one of the core disciples of the Holy Emperor Palace." Qi Yunxiao stared at Gu Yifeng and said. He had only used 50% of his power just now, yet he had forced Gu Yifeng to retreat step by step.
"You're not bad either." Gu Yifeng smiled faintly. Although his attack was fierce and unparalleled, he could also sense that Qi Yunxiao was at the peak of the Limit Emperor Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block his attack. Moreover, his defense was also very strong.
"I'll ask you one more time, do you want to keep your promise?" Gu Yifeng asked again.
"Absolutely not." Qi Yunxiao replied coldly, a sharp fighting spirit surging within him. Although he was one level below Gu Yifeng, he was still qualified to compete with him.
“Stubborn to the end.” Gu Yifeng shook his head and said, “Then I will have to take action myself.”
"If you want to make a move, I'll oblige," Qi Yunxiao said in a deep voice. He also wanted to know how strong Gu Yifeng had become.
"Alright, I hope you won't regret it," Gu Yifeng said. Then he took a step forward, and the spiritual energy of the vast world gathered and surrounded his body. Above his head, countless stars appeared, shining brightly, as if they contained some kind of terrifying destructive power. Everyone felt cold all over, as if they were shrouded in a suffocating feeling.
"Fall." A faint voice fell, and countless stars plummeted down, crashing down on Qi Yunxiao and the others in the sky.
"What kind of martial art is this?" Many people looked surprised, feeling their scalps tingle. The power of this martial art was too terrifying, simply astonishing. They had never heard of such an attack before, and it was so bizarre and unpredictable, completely targeting the human soul!
"roar!"
A mythical Qilin appeared in the sky. Its body was robust and powerful, as large as a mountain, and its whole body radiated a dazzling golden color. It was as if a real golden Qilin had descended to earth, guarding the nine heavens and looking down on the world. This was summoned by Gu Yifeng by activating his martial soul.
The Qilin roared and howled repeatedly. It stretched out a claw, tearing through space and grabbing at Qi Yunxiao. The claw sliced through the heavens and earth, annihilating everything. Space turned into chaos, and dark cracks spread out, trying to devour everything.
"Get lost!" Qi Yunxiao roared, and a terrifying light burst forth from his body. His clothes billowed as he gripped his spear and charged forward, clashing head-on with the Qilin's claws.
"Crack, crack..." A crisp breaking sound rang out, and a hideous bloodstain appeared. Blood dripped down the bloodstain, causing the hearts of the surrounding crowd to pound wildly. Qi Yunxiao's strength was indeed formidable, as he was able to withstand Gu Yifeng's attack.
"I don't believe you can keep going!" Qi Yunxiao shouted. Then he frantically poured in his Yuan energy, and the silver light became even more dazzling. He seemed to be bathed in silver light, like an unparalleled demon king, standing proudly between heaven and earth. He was wearing armor and holding a silver spear, majestic and heroic.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Bolts of lightning struck down from the void, hitting the silver armor. Qi Yunxiao groaned and was thrown backward at high speed, his eyes filled with pain. At this moment, he felt as if he had been bombarded by thousands of lightning bolts, and his physical body had been severely damaged.
"Pfft..."
Qi Yunxiao coughed, and a trickle of bright red blood spilled from his mouth. His face was immediately filled with pain, and his eyes were filled with anger and humiliation.
Gu Yifeng stood there, his gaze calmly sweeping over Qi Yunxiao, and said indifferently, "A bet is a bet, that's the rule. If you don't follow it, why blame others?"
As he spoke, he took a step forward, and an even more powerful aura emanated from his body. Streams of starlight bloomed, illuminating this void. The faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard. Everyone felt the heavens and earth tremble, their heads felt as if they were about to explode, their faces turned ashen, and they all retreated.
Gu Yifeng stared intently at Qi Yunxiao and slowly said, "You should leave. I don't want to hurt anyone today."
Qi Yunxiao paused for a moment, staring blankly at Gu Yifeng. Then, he turned and left, his back view desolate and lonely. He suddenly remembered his past self.
At that time, he had just entered the Emperor level. A friend invited him to a banquet. After a few rounds of drinks, he suddenly became interested in a woman. The two had a passionate encounter at the hotel. Afterwards, she told him that she liked Qin Xuan and that he should give up. He didn't care much at the time.
However, he became jealous of Qin Xuan and wished he could kill him. Later, when Qin Xuan was expelled from the Sacred Pool Snow Mountain, he was still unable to calm down until he met Ye Futian. Although the two spent little time together, Ye Futian helped him change his fate.
In the end, he became Ye Futian's disciple and learned various martial arts techniques. In a short period of time, his strength underwent a qualitative transformation, and he went from an unknown person to a prominent figure.
Even so, he still remembered that Qin Xuan was driven out of the Sacred Pool Snow Mountain by him. If it weren't for Ye Futian, he might have already become the Holy Son of the Sacred Pool Snow Mountain, enjoying countless glories, instead of falling to this state.
"You are quite good, but ultimately you haven't grasped your own rules. You are not worthy of being called a saint," Gu Yifeng said, watching Qi Yunxiao's departing figure.
"In that case, I'll send you on your way." Gu Yifeng said coldly, then pointed a finger, and in an instant, countless beams of starlight shot towards Qi Yunxiao's body. Each beam of starlight seemed to carry supreme pressure, as if it wanted to pierce through everything. Qi Yunxiao felt as if his body was locked, and no matter where he fled, the beams of starlight would chase after him. There was no way to avoid it, no way to escape.
"Break!" Qi Yunxiao roared to the sky, releasing a monstrous aura. Golden fist beams burst forth, spinning wildly like a golden vortex, blasting forward.
"Bang." The starlight beams collided with the fist's energy, creating a deafening roar. The golden vortex instantly collapsed, and the starlight beams shot forward with unstoppable force, piercing through Qi Yunxiao's body. In an instant, a transparent corpse hung in the void.
The crowd looked up, their gazes fixed on the empty space.
Qi Yunxiao is dead.
"Whoosh." A gust of wind blew by, stirring up the dust on the ground, and the world became quiet.
Qi Yunxiao, a peerless genius, crushed his opponents with absolute superiority. However, the ending remained unchanged; he still died.
"Do you still want to try?" Gu Yifeng asked the group.
